I have been thinking of trying the voltage booster on my 044, rather than going twin pumps and putting more heat into the fuel. ( its already an issue on long drives.)

Anyone seen good results from them? How much more would i get out the fuel pump ifbits close to max flow now?

i have run a Kenne Bell Boost A Pump since 2004. i find it an easy way to solve the fuel flow challenge of our thirsty motors. especially nice as it only juices the pump while in boost.

given the rotary needs about 30% more air to make similar output to a piston motor, it also needs 30% more fuel. in addition, it needs to run on the rich side at higher power levels and then there's E85 which requires 30 to 40% more fuel.

there are many ways to get it done and most work. you can do multiple pumps, or one monster pump or swap in what is currently the best 21st century single intank pump, the Walbro 9000262 (gas) or 9000267 (E85).

if you are approaching 600 rw on E85 the Walbro may be marginal.

at 13.5 V the pump makes 389 L/H

at 16.0 it makes 568!!!!!!! more than enough for more than 600 on E85.

at 16 V the pump is happy BTW.

of course life can't be that simple. Kenne Bell just changed their BAP to a 17 V minimum... which is too much for the pump.

/////////update: the 13.5 V base model is back by popular demand, see post 11 in this thread/////////////////

other than an FYI on this i would like to ask the board, someone who knows electricity better than me...

would it be feasible to run the BAP at 17 V and add some sort of resistor so as to end up at 16.0? if so please add the specifics.

up to how many volts can the walbro e85 pump run safely ? I thought 14.4v was the limit

I coppied the above from rx7 forum. Intersting that the walbro 460 will flow 568 l/hr compared to 389 l/hr at 13.5volt

Walbro 460 and id2000's

Not sure on injector duty

They would have plenty left u like the pump...

Ive been thinking of trying a walbro, but not sure they flow much more than the 044 at high pressures.

What power are you at with your set up and are you having fuel shortage issues with the pump/ fuel line size?

448kw @ 24.5psi on caltex eflex (E70)

Pump is at it's safe max limit

I rekon lines can flow more if I had more fuel flow

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
